In Spring 2011, a series of natural disasters devastated communities across the United States. Flooding along the Mississippi River and deadly storms in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi— and now Minnesota, Kansas, and Missouri – created an urgent need to rebuild communities and lives.
In response, the NFL launched the Lincoln Financial Group/National Forensic League Disaster Relief Fund, which provides financial support for speech and debate programs affected by disasters. The first grant recipient from this fund will be Joplin High School, which was destroyed by a deadly tornado on May 23, 2011.
Opportunities will exist at the 2011 National Tournament to give to the NFL Disaster Relief Fund. Lincoln Financial Group has graciously agreed to match every dollar contributed to the fund throughout the week. Even if you are not attending the tournament, you may still give online below.
Please give to the LFG/NFL Disaster Relief Fund. Together, we can help schools in need regain their voice.
